THE OREOONIAN UPHOLDS LAND THIEVES. RICH The Oregonian of last Saturday in the leading editorial says: "No better man ever lived than Bart lett Richards, whose indictment by the Federal Grand Jury at Omaha w.ib an nounced in yesterday's dispatches. He is a man of culture and refinement, of unblemished integrity, of generous na ture, of fine family, of pure private life One of his brothers is a Congregational minister; another was the late Gover nor of Wyoming. He is of the best New England stock, born and educated amid its highest traditions, to which he still adheres. Yet because this man has found it necessary to throw his fences around Government land where his cat tie range, he is indicted like a common malefactor and is put in peril of his liberty and his good name." The Oregonian then goes on in long winded article to besmirch the administration by a direct reflection upon the government and in defense of high-toned,Jrich, land thieves and grafters. According to the Oregon ian's theory, coloring and tenor of its articles, the poor thief should be placed in the penitentiary, and the re fined, rich thief should be canonized as a saint The Richards case differs but little from a score of cases similar to it in which settlers were scared out by deeds committed by men of the Tom Horns tripe, who were employed by the rich, noble, refined and gallant cattle barons to clear the ranges of settlers who dared to go inside the barbed wire fences, enclosing in many cases hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of acres of government land. A small stockman or settler who went on the land to make a horn took his life in his own hands; and his cattle if not watched and corral ed every night were driven off the range. The Oregonian may not know ards while he was Governor of Vyom ing was backed by the cattle barons who had called the first national live stock convention to meet at Denver and he was the chief speaker and log- roller to have the land laws changed whereby all the rich agricultural and grazing land west of the Missouri River and East of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada Mountains could be leased perpetually to cattle syndicates and blasted" British land specula tors. The Plaindealek knows where the Oregonian got its inspiration from to defend Richards, and while Richards may be in some people's es timation above the law because of his learning, refinement and wealth yet his caseg represents in Wyoming a brand of infamous tyranny, persecu tion and wanton disregard for law and the rights of American citizens. that has been and is a curse to the settlement of millions of acres of rich agricultural lands. And here we take occasion to bring the Oregonian's attention to this fact: for several months past it has been treading on very dangerous ground in defending high handed scoundrels because they were rich and influential, and in this way it is a criminal making and crimi nal defending machine. BOOTH AND BRIDGES. Yesterday at the head of the first news column the Oregonian says edi torially: "J. Henry Booth, Register at Rose burg, is a brother of State Senator R A. Booth. Previous to his appointment he was connected with a lumbering con cern at Grants Pass. It is understood he urges in his defense that his connec tion with the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com pany is simply that of a stockholder, his brother being the manager of the busi ne8B. The late Congressman Tongno was largely instrumental in having Mr. Booth appointed." Washington, Dec. 12. The Oregon Senators are likely to be called upon to recommend a new man for Receiver of the Roseburg Land Office in place of J H. Booth, whose reappointment, as well as that of Register Bridges, they re quested some time ago. A careful and thorough investigation has been made into the records of both men. No ob jection is raised to Bridges, but Booth is shown to be a prominent officer in the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, and his relations with that company, which has been extensively operating in tim ber lands in Southern Oregon and Northern California, leads Secretary Hitchcock to believe that Booth should not hold Government and private office, simultaneously. Booth lias already served a year and a half beyond his ap pointed term. The Oregon delegation can be de pended upon to raise another howl when called upon to name a successor to Booth, for the delegation is afraid of what the Booth-Kelly Lumber com pany might do. It should join in a petition to oust Booth because the ap pointment is distasteful to every dis interested Republican in Oregon who knows the true status of the case. To continue such a man in office for purely political reasons is to give the democrats a club to beat the rapidly decreasing republican majority of this district into a minority. Now the Plaindealer has no objection to J. H. Booth, personally, but his con nection with the Booth-Kelly Lumber company and continuation in office is a disgrace to the republican party at large and gives democracy a chance to besmirch the administration If the Oregon delegation would act like statesmen working for the suc cess of the republican party as a whole and not to reward swashbuck lers or to give bribes for party fealty, there would be less to explain away and fewer of their men would be held up by the administration as either knaves or fools. Take the case of Thompson, out side of the bribery charge: he was such a chump as to allow one man to pay for forty timber claim entries for forty individuals in one check for the entire forty persons. If he did not know that there was fraud in such a transaction he is a fit subject for the state lunatic asylum and if he did know there was fraud he was a partner in attempting to allow the government to be defrauded. Under these circumstances and with such a showing the Oregon delegation, even when told by the Interior department, that there are other charges against the man to be investigated by the next Federal grand jnry, insist on his reinstatement. We honestly believe that it is about time for the delega tion to show that it is not standing in with crime . or criminal methods and if it does not do so the quicker the delegation is lambasted into de cency the better it will be for Oregon at large. REVISE THE TAX LAW. During the coming extra session an effort will be made to amend the tax law so that the name of even- taxpayer will be published with the amount rendered for taxation. One line of type is sufficient to do the work. While there will be some ex pense attached to the method it has been found to work well in Illinois where hundreds of thousands of dol lars have been saved to the people. For every dollar of outlay twenty times as much will be saved to the nonest taxpayers. The Tax list taken from the assessment books should be published every year in two leading papers having the largest circulation and of different political status in each county. The papers to be se lected by the commissioners' court upon the sworn circulation and verifi cation by the circulation books if necessary. The honest taxpayer pay, the taxes as the case now stands and the dishonest taxpayer reaps the re ward. MAKE THE ROAD. W. F. Arant, the superintendent of Crater Lake National Park called on the Plaindealer Saturday. Wi found him to be very enthusiastic in his work. He suggests that a road from Roseburg to Crater Lake via the South fork of the North Umpqua river as the most feasible route get to the lake and especially as there is a good trail over the summit of the Cascades via Diamond Lake. very small sum of money, we are in formed would pay for making a good wagon road and with such a road several thousand persons would come to Roseburg each year to make the journey and spend much money in this city. Pauper or Grafter, Which? rite Portland Journal is responsible for tho following: Jnst a little clothes brush which Cir cuit Justice George needed for tho dust ing of his wearing apparel, and which he did not get, came within an ace of costing Squire George Underwood, one of the oldest janitors in the county courthouse his office yesterday. About a month ago Judge George dis covered that his clothes brush was unfit for use, and through Underwood, who is the janitor of h'is department of the court, he filed a requisition for a new brush with the county commissioners County Judge Webster was out of the city and other members of the county board vetoed Judge George s requisition and Underwood so reported. Another requisition brought a similar response Judge ueorgo made a personal visit to O'tunty Judge Webster yesterday. What happened at the conference is known only to the two judges, but everybody about the courthouse is familiar with the subsequent occurrence. "I want men who know their busi ness," declared tho indignant judge. Underwood replied: "I know my business as well as you do yours, and if ou do not want nie you can get an other janitor." With that the coloquy ended. It is understood that the commissioners will stand by their order in refusing to buy new clothes brush for tho judge. Is it any wonder that Oregon poli ticians and methods are a stench in he nostrils of the administration at Washington? The delegation is now kicking because a man who was con victed of a criminal offense at San Francisco is employed as a clerk to get up the papers and questions in a legal manner in the forthcoming, so called, land office frauds. The dele gation had better bo attending to more important business than making such an unholy show for the amuse ment of the United States. The pleas made at Washington that one of the clerks or uiuli-rstrap-per lawyers had been in pris- -u and served time for an offense, is no ex cuse why a man should not asM-st the government to prosecute a set f con spirators with all the vim ho could bring to bear on the case. It will bo a sad day for Justice, if the old lady is not already dead, when a lot of conspirators backed up by United States lawmakers shall decide who shall prosecute felons before the law. Assistant Editors. The Plaindealek needs an As sistant Editor or Correspomk-nt at at eveny post office or settlement in Douglas county for the year 1903. A certificate of appointment will be issued to every assistant to represent the Plaindealer in their respective communities and all applications must bear the endorsement of two good citizens.

"An edict has been issued by the Mate .Labor Commissioner that no child under 10 years of ago will Iks permitted to appear on any theatre static in the state of Oregon, said edict having gone into effect at 0 o'clock last Wedm-sday evening. Two theatres in Portland were required to take children from the stage last week, and it is stated that the thea trical managers of that city will contest the new ruling. Every theatrical mana ger in Oregon lias , been notified of tho provisions of the law, and that it will be rigidly enforced. While there lias been some doubt as to whether this w.iild apply to traveling troops, the commis sioner is of the opinion that th. law reaches them also. Eugene Guard Chicago (Jets National Republican Con vention. Washington, Dec. 12. The National Republican convention will be hel I in Chicago beginning at noon, on Juno 21 next. Tim Republican National Com mittee reached this conclusion tuday, and adjourned subject to call. Pittsburg and St. Louis wore rivals of Chicago for tho convention. Each city was well represented in oratory before tho committee, and each also hail ctxti offers to make. Pittsburg offered $100, 000, Chicago $75,000 and a hall, and St. Louis, $40,000 and a hall. Tho vole stood 43 for Chicago, 7 for Pittsburg and 1 for St. Ixmis. The work of tho committee was har monious throughout. Its open n-.-sion today was attended by many Republi j cans. Several minor questions were o- ferred to special committees. Included in this list was the representation neked for by Porto Rico, Hawaii and Luzon, the Socialistic problem, and tho politi cal rights of tho negro. A committee headed by Senator Scott, of West Virginia, was named to make all arrangements for tho convention. Sena tor Hanna dined with the committee at tho Arlington Hotel this evening. A resolution was adopted prescribing that tho convention should bo hold in the exact language of tho call l'JOO, giv ing tho states four delegates at large, and two delegates for each Congression al district, and to tho territories Bix dele gates each. Delegates must bo selected prior to May 21. At 1 :40 o'clock Chair man Hanna announced tho adjourn ment of tho committee to meet in Chi cago at tho call of tho chairman. Made flinister to Panama. Washington, Dec. 12. Tho President has named W. I. Buchanan, of New York.to be tho first United States Min ister to Panama. Mr. Buchanan's selection was brought about by a desire on tho part of tho President to secure temporarily, at least, and during thochrystallization of the re lations between tho Tinted States aud Panama, the services of a trained diplo mat, having special references to his knowledge of the Latin-American races. By reason of long service as United'. States Minister to the Argentine Repub lic, Mr. Buchanan fills that description") in tho estimation of the State Depart ment. It is understood his assumption of duties is not to be permanent, for he sacrificed large interests to undertake the work. Panama Calls Election. The State Department lias leen in formed that final steps have Isecn taken for the formation of a pennnnent Re publican form of government in Pana ma. The news came in a dispatch di rect from Cotiul-Geiieral Guilger, dated Panama Saturday as follows: "Election for constitutional tion called for Jauuiry 4. Tho conven-rotiven- tion will meet January 20." This action is taken, it is believed, to meet his suggestion from Panamans in consequence of tho criticism of the new republic and in the lielief that the status of the new treaty would be improved if the final ratifications could be ex changed by the United States with a permanent and regular form of govern ment on the isthmus.

On Sunday wo visited tho church and was surprised to seo so nico a Sunday school in a town tho size of Riddle, but wo were not in the school long until we wero able to solve tho problem ; when o saw with what earnestness nnd zonl io superintendent, officers and teachers seemed to bo possessed, nnd tho studious ay iu which tho scholars attended io lessons, their promptness! hi respond- ng to tho collections, and tho way they answered in tho roviow, then wo could see tho reason why Riddle has the best Sunday scliool in tho south part of south Douglas County.

I always seo in tho Plaindkai.kk, "If you want to build a house seo Pat," and when I saw that now brick house, I was convinced that Will Q. Ilrown had seen Pat, and Pat had Been Will Q.
